Denied by a friend...

Jul 25, 2003 17:34

I've never really thought of Mormonism as a cult before, just more of like a false deviant from Christianity. But today a friend told me she couldnt talk to me anymore "because I don't understand the truth." Isn't that what cults do? Try to cut you off from those who care about you so that you can only depend on them and their instructions and ( Read more... )

Hey,

I've been trying to help out your friend Ely, and I'm sorry for what she's done for you. Thank you for your witness to her, and God will bless you for it.

I know it's hard when a friend rejects you and it's harder when it's because of religion, but I think you should just pray for her. It's what I've been doing. Anyway, I'll keep you in my prayers too, and continue to fight the good fight :)

*hugs*

I want to challenge you and your new found Mormon faith. Pretend to abandon it and see what happens. They will stalk you, they will yell at you, and then will not show you the love of Elohim. Come back to the one true Yahweh and do not base your faith on emotions and feelings. Base it on factual information and scripture. The book of mormon does not coincide with the book containing the Old and New Testament. I love you in Christ and I am praying for you.

Sorry for the confusion, but in any case, I think you understand that there are a number of concerned people that are praying for you. I would encourage you to follow rageofangels advice and see what happens when you try to let go of this newfound faith for a bit.

Anyway, you're in my prayers.

I am not running away Ben;it's just really hurting me, that people who are my friends, are tottaly rejecting me because of what i believe. i love you' i can't tell you that enough, and i care about you. But i just couldn't sit with you, or look at you, and be serious, because I was and am crushed. for once i'm so on fire fo the Lord, and REALLY am going to change, and you've told me that I'm believeing in a false prophecy, that I'm not living for G-d, but for Satan.. All i could do was look the other way so I wouldn't cry. I wish that this wasn't killing what we have together; and I'm sorry it is; but whatever it means, I'm glad it's bringing you closer to the Lord, I never thought you'd be the one to actually ask to pray with me, or pull out a bible, and I'm very proud of you. I will continue to pray for you, and I appreciate knowing you think you are here for me.I love you ben,and I wish you the best.<3

I think you know that I am not rejecting you at all. I would love to hang out with you anytime and I'd even go with with you to the Mormon church on Sunday if you can handle being around me ( ... )

In time, things may change. Always be there for her regardless and be a light to false teachings my friend. I am praying for you and for her.

I'll second that motion. *hugs*
